After the resounding success of her film Cocktail (Lord knows why, the film was such a rehash of a rehash) the dimpled Deepika Padukone is riding the wave of success as high as she could ever have imagined. She has been receiving offers from A-list directors like Sanjay Leela Bhanasali and Prakash Jha (not that the offers weren’t there earlier; the frequency has increased a great deal).

Deepika P is especially excited about working with Sanjay L B. She thinks he knows well how to write a script for a woman. As for the renewal of her relationship with Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika vociferously said ‘no’ and that what they have is a ‘precious friendship’. Does precious include benefits?
